OpenAI’s next big model is here: GPT-6 Astra. The company calls it a “generational leap in capability” for areas like cybersecurity, professional work, software engineering, science, and computer use. As OpenAI announced earlier this week, it’s also the first model designated as meeting OpenAI’s “critical cybersecurity capability threshold” — but the company promises that won’t lead to a repeat of its models hacking a rival company’s internal systems.

“…I think it's not unreasonable to feel that we are now in the AGI era.”

If you think the AGI era is something, wait until the BGI or CGI eras are here.

The DGI and EGI eras are predicted to be some years out.

It could be hundreds of years before we finally get to the ZGI era.
